This is an open invitation for you all to come view our work in this beautiful historical setting.

We are also doing a Kite making project with Pauline Taylor from Studio Infinite. Pauline will be taking the kites designed by the Art Studio members on a tour of the Far East.

The kites will form part of a large arch and will be joining other kites as part of the tour. The guys have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the project and the designs that they have made are really ingenious.

Thats all for now folks, please get yourselves along to the exhibition if you can, and if you can't, please follow us on Facebook for more information about the daily activities that we are doing at The Art Studio.
